Wanted...
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
...new favorite baseball team. Must participate in Major League Baseball. Must be able to win more than one game per month away from the home stadium and must not be susceptible to 5+ game losing streaks. Must be able to hit over .250 collectively and drive in runners when they are in scoring position. Chicago Cubs need not apply. In fact, teams that regularly beat the Chicago Cubs are preferred. All those wishing to apply, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Applications will be accepted up until the All-Star break.
As you can see, the Astros season is beginning to bother me. I chalked up their early struggles to youth and hoped the young guys would start hitting the ball. Well, after 45 games, Houston is at the bottom of the entire league in runs scored, so my hope is beginning to wear thin. At least it can't get much worse.
I'm still going to cheer them on, though. It's tough to get rid of a first love. :)
I think I've become a bit spoiled over the years. Even though the Astros have never been to the World Series, they've made the playoffs 5 out of the last 8 years and have had only one losing season since '92, so it's tough to adjust to last place.
Oh, well. At least LSU is playing well as the college season turns into tourney time. The Tigers ended up winning a share of the SEC West title on the last day and will go into the SEC tournament as the overall No. 2 seed.

Oh yer lookin' for a new team, hey? How 'bout dem Brewers, hey? I gotta tell ya, been in the same boat as youse lookin' for a new team to follow, but not no more! I like my boys of spring jes fine dis year. And since I'm from Wisconsin, and we're known for bein' generous and givin' - gotta be if ya live in God's country - I'll let ys share da team. Okay? But ya gotta say good stuff about 'em now, even if they lose a little.
Be seein' ya at the Miller Stadium! I'll be the one with the root beer and brat wavin' and yellin' for the Polish ta win the sausage race!
